So sorry to hear about the news of Strven. i remember him as a bright eyed boy who enjoyed learning in my class. sending my thoughts and live. Warren Smart

I first meet Steven at practical education when we done our chefing course together. My condolences to Steven family and Angel taken too soon. RIP my friend and fly high pain free

Steven, God sent you as an angel to touch all our lives with your amazing caring nature but sadly he wanted you back beside his side. Will miss seeing your smile. Forever in our hearts 💕

I would like to send my condolences and thoughts to Steven's family and friends. I met Steven when I was employed at Pak 'n' Save. He was a friendly chap. Always a cheeky grin on his face whenever he greeted me and liked having little chats in the staffroom. I am so saddened that he is no longer in our lives but taking comfort in the fact that he is free from what was causing him pain and that he will be remembered for the amazing man he was. Lot's of love Barnes Family x

I was not close with Steven at all in high school, (we were in the same home class for a while at Spotswood College) but I hope that his close friends and family find comfort in this message. We had the brief chat here and there as kids, so I was aware he had pre-existing conditions that had quite the devastating effect on his health. But he was so accepting of it and he came across as an old soul, even at such a young age. I also remember him talking about how going to Rotorua would compromise his health as well... He was pretty much cool with everyone and everyone was cool with him. To remember this after all of these years is just proof that Steven was just a cool dude. I hope I have the same attitude as him when it's time for me to answer to a higher calling. Rest in peace Steven ✌

Rest easy steven, unfortunately i couldnt be there today to celebrate your life but i was definitely there in thought. You will be truly missed and never forgotten - sending my love to your whole family at this time

Steven. Words cannot express what a loss you have left, thank you for all your friendly conversations as I came into Pakn Save over the years as you watched my family grow and my children also, i always enjoyed being able to stop and say hello but i was always mindful not to linger too long incase i got you in trouble. After watching your service maybe i need not have worried quiet so much! In all the years i knew you, never once were you anything less the person you always were. I will miss our talks and I will miss seeing you around. Rest Easy Steven your battle is over and you shall not be forgotten. I am sorry work prevented me from coming to your funeral but I also know you would have understood. It was a beautiful tribute to you though. I am glad technology allowed me to see it later on. RIP Mate

I'll miss hearing your infectious laugh Steven. I would like to thank you for being so friendly and lovely to everyone including myself. I'll miss you everyday. Rest in Love ❤️

So sad to hear of Steven's passing. Our condolences to you Suzy, Errol and Mathew. We watched the service online as are currently in the South Island. All the best and stay strong. Love Jim and Louise

You were taken from this world too quickly, but never gave up hope, and even up until the end had a smile on your face.You've returned to the lifestream now, rest easy

"Time to fly above the skies with love of family and friends past while memories of you stay with us Our hearts will always fly with you" Time to rock those skies with that big heart of yours Steven; your humour and love was a gift to all who knew you.
